I’ve got the name of the sitcom while out walking the dog this morning.
Now I just need to write the first six episodes and see if Matt Berry is available to play Widgeon.
Perhaps inspired by yesterday’s viral hit (Handforth parish council) I see Widgeon as a local authority big hitter from London who thinks he’s in for a relaxing retirement in the rural Midlands.
When he joins the parish council to ‘keep his hand in’ he has no idea what’s in store…
There’s certainly no rest for the Widgeon….

I missed the viral hit. Or it missed me I suppose. But a sitcom sounds cool!
WTH??? Oh my I’d be mortified if I was acting like that shouty guy and it went viral. I think Rich’s sitcom has got legs!
It’s incredible isn’t it!
That chap shouting!! Awful.
Especially if he can sign up Matt Berry! 🙂
I don’t know him, googled, still none the wiser.
Toast of London. And general voiceover king!
OK 🤷♀️ 😊
You’d recognise his distinctive silky voice. Toast is on the 4iplayer…..
A comedy actor mostly. I watched his series ‘Toast of London’ and loved it. Julie hates him of course. He is also the voice of Money Supermarket dot com on the telly ads.
Oh dear. Just watched a few minutes of him on youtube. Julie is a discerning woman whomst I much admire. 😀
Must be a ‘man thing’ then. I think he’s hilarious! 🙂
I loved Berry in ‘Toast Of London’.
Is that sign on a new hosuing estate perchance?
Best wishes, Pete.
Yep! They always have names like Squirrels Nook dont they?
Whatever happened to ordinary street names? Trying to make identical estates feel like some countryside idyll, I suppose. Wonder if the new buyers fall for ir? 🙂
